Vaccines
Your dog must have had vaccinations within the last 12 months, but not less than 7 days before admission, for the following:
DHP - Distemper, Hepatitis, Parvovirus
Kennel Cough Complex - (3 days before admission)
Leptospirosis - Optional
New Dogs
Please check with your veterinary practice if your dog has definitely had the kennel cough vaccination, as this is often not given with annual vaccinations unless specified. If in doubt ring your vet clinic for confirmation.
Food
Main food supplied is Royal Canin Dog Biscuits, we also give a small amount of quality wet food which is mixed with the dog biscuits for the evening meal.
It is much easier for us to feed our own biscuits. If you think your dog will be fine on our Royal Canin biscuits please don’t bring yours. Also your dog may enjoy a little change anyway.
Dogs are fed twice a day.
